Vx: Frustrated by liberal universities, conservatives aim to defund and destroy

[Mopsus]

Young people go left in college because they want to change the world, and they think that left-wing social activism is the way to do that. What we need is some sort of compulsory volunteer service: let our young people get rid of their activism bug without making them go Full Degenerate.

We shouldn't be using taxpayer money to pay for people to be indoctrinated by marxists for useless liberal arts degrees. We need to refocus our spending on education towards useful degrees in STEM. If someone is studying for a STEM degree they should be eligible for enough grants to make it a free ride so long as they maintain good grades and their parents income isn't too high. Next, get rid of subsidized student loans, and bring back the ability to discharge student loans through bankruptcy. That way if some idiot wants to borrow $100,000 or more to major in gender studies or some other useless degree, they have to show the lender they have the ability to pay it back, this will make it harder to get student loans.

"Throwing out humanity" is a very succinct way of describing STEM-oriented education reform

In my experience it's more that young people go left because going right means having their frontal lobes scooped out and replaced with a fetid, shredded mess of the stinkiest of ancient propaganda along with a few choice turds from the last century. And now they top it off by stapling a cherry-red hat to their heads afterwards.

I'm sure that many young people are impressed by the college left ideology, it being the first ideology they've encountered that has intelligible principles. That doesn't mean that college leftism is anything more than a collection of platitudes - just look at that mumbo-jumbo poster you have in your signature!
